My Class

In this book, everything is the first: the first book published in 1949 by the renowned writer, journalist, and educator Frida Vigdorova (1915—1965) about the first steps of a young teacher in the first post-war year. The heroine of the... book, Marina Nikolaevna, comes to the fourth grade of a boys' school. How to make lessons not boring? How to not only teach the boys the rules of spelling but also nurture in them the ability to be friends, empathize, and listen to others? This book was written in the harsh post-war time, and the author, with every word and every episode, reminds us that every student is, above all, a human being, and a human being needs love, understanding, and respect. The story still captures the hearts of readers today with its warmth and freshness of tone. For older school age.
